Hello and Welcome to the 8th ODI match in the Intercontinental Cup between Ireland and Canada from Dublin. Ireland are in top form and they brushed aside a Canada side who were woeful in some departments. Ireland will be looking to continue their domination and come closer to sealing a spot in the 2015 World Cup. Canada, on the other hand, have a huge task ahead of them and they will have to play out of their skins to challenge Ireland. Stay tuned for the toss and team updates.
